Sultry Singer Chloe Bailey Blasted For Sexy Performance of Nina Simone’s ‘Feeling Good’
Chloe Bailey gave a sultry and provocative performance of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” song during ABC News’ “Juneteenth Together We Triumph” that has the internet buzzing.
On Friday, the protégé of Beyonce gave it all she’s got belting out strong vocals while giving body-ody in a skin-tight full-bodied catsuit as she allured a captive audience. But critics were quick to chime in and criticize the vocal artist for her sensual performance. Yet, Simone’s own granddaughter, RéAnna Simone Kelly, praised Hailey and came to her defense. Kelly even stated that her “grandma was a free-spirited woman herself!! She would’ve loved that performance as much as I do!” Kelly said.

Everyone’s coming at @ChloeBailey for her performance of my grandmother Nina Simone’s song “Feeling Good”. But what y’all don’t understand is that grandma was a free spirited woman herself!! She would’ve loved that performance as much as I do! Relax. Chloe killed it. #NinaSimone

Grandma was unapologetically herself. She was a muhhhfuckin badass woman who did what she wanted when she wanted. She was a sexual woman and she expressed that. Educate yourselves !! If grandma could she probably would’ve done that performance herself 😂😂
